Watermelon radish hides its shock of magenta flesh under a pale green skin—mildly sweet with just a hint of heat. Slice to reveal the color and use raw for crudités, quick pickles, or sushi plates. A Chinese heirloom (Shinrimei), it prefers the cool of fall and stores well. Sow late summer, thin for size, and keep beds moist. Radishes carry vitamin C and fiber; this one carries the wow factor too. It’s the radish that makes even radish skeptics reach for another slice.

How to Grow

Plant spring radish seeds directly in the garden starting 4-6 weeks before average last spring frost. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-65 degrees. Since they mature so quickly, spring radishes are often planted with carrots and parsnips, between slowly growing cole crops, or between small tomato and pepper plants. Plant every 2-3 weeks for a continued harvest until about 4 weeks after average last frost. Can be sown again in early fall. Plant winter radish varieties 6-8 weeks before average first frost.
